The provided rice
cooker cup is the
equivalent to a 3/4
standard U.S. cup
If you misplace the
measuring cup, a ¾
standard U.S. cup is an
exact replacement.
To add more flavor
to rice, try substituting
a favorite meat or
vegetable broth or
stock. The ratio of broth/
stock to rice will be the
same as water to rice.
For approximate brown
rice and grain cooking
times and suggested
grain/water ratios,

Measurement Tables"

To Clean
Troubleshooting
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that
all items have been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them
properly as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Remove the inner pot from the cooker and
clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before returning to cooker.
5. Wash the lid and all other accessories in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Wipe the cooker's body clean with a damp cloth.
1. Remove the inner pot when the cooker has
completely cooled.
2. Hand wash the lid and all accessories or place on
the top rack of the dishwasher.
3. Wipe the cooker's body clean with a damp cloth.

· Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, additional water and cooking time
will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is,
add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Place on the
lid and press the cook
switch down. When the cooker
switches to
Warm
mode, remove the lid and stir the
rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary
until rice is soft and moist.
· Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of
the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place on
the lid and allow to remain on
Warm
mode for 10-30
minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice or
grain to the inner pot.
2. Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. For white rice, fill with water to the line which
matches the number of cups of rice being
cooked. For brown rice or grain, see the "Grain
& Water Measurement Tables" on page 8 .
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker.
5. Place the lid securely onto the rice cooker.
6. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC
wall outlet.
7. Press the cook switch down to begin cooking.
The cook indicator light will illuminate as the
rice cooker begins cooking the rice or grain.
8. When rice or grain is ready, the cook switch
will automatically flip up and switch to
Warm
mode.
9. For better results, stir the rice or grain with
the included serving spatula to distribute any
remaining moisture.
10. When finished serving rice or grain, unplug the
power cord to turn the rice cooker off.
Caution:
The rice cooker will
not switch to
Warm
mode until all liquid has
evaporated. Follow your
recipe carefully and do
not leave the rice cooker
unattended.
Note:
· Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that the inner pot
is dry and free of debris.
Adding the inner pot
when wet may damage
the cooker.
· Food should not be left
in the cooker on
Warm
for more than 12 hours.
